Along with many people, I love Pandas, they look so cuddly. There is a fascinating National Geographic article about the breeding of Pandas and their reintroduction into the wild. China is doing all that they can to change the status of these animals from endangered. We hope it works.
I particularly loved this picture with the bears surrounding the man known as Papa Panda. However, there are some great Panda pictures in the article. I think the work the Chinese are doing is admirable.
By the way, for those of you who remember my "tightrope walker" he was out there again today and I have seen him several times since I first wrote about him. I think he is walking a tad further. Still not using a balance pole. I really wish he would. I certainly give him full marks for effort and persistence. He did seem to get a little further this time.
I don't know about you, but I could eat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits forever. These are a copycat recipe and supposed to be somewhat lighter in calories. Mine you they are still 403 calories each.
Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Weight Watchers)
2 cup reduced-fat baking mix, such as Bisquick
3/4 low-fat (1%) buttermilk
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
2 Tbs fat-free margarine or butter substitute
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried parsley, finely crushed
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. Add baking mix, buttermilk, and cheddar cheese to a medium bowl and mix by hand until well combined. Divide dough into 12 equal portions (about 3 tablespoons each) and spoon onto prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits start to brown.
4. In a small bowl, combine margarine or butter substitute with garlic powder and parsley flakes. Heat mixture for 30 seconds in the microwave, stir to combine, and brush over the top of each biscuit as soon as they come out of the oven.
Servings: 12
Have a great day

On a bed of pandas...
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever out when the tightrope guy is, tell him to use a pole.
Lovely isn't it Alex.
DeleteYes, I should although it's a bit of a walk.
Pandas are adorable, Jo! And this recipe sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful week! :)
ReplyDeleteAren't they Linda. Thanks.
DeleteI make those biscuits! I couldn't watch that guy on the rope.
ReplyDeleteI love them but I would eat far too many Susan. He isn't very high off the ground.
DeleteYou should pop down and offer the tight rope walker a broom handle, Jo. The photo of the pandas is sooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteIf I was fit enough to pop anywhere, I might do that Pinky. I am rather surprised with the effort he is putting into this that he doesn't have a pole. The are cute aren't they?
DeleteI have been on vacation and we leave for home tomorrow. That tightrope man is persistent which I give him kudos for doing what he is doing. Pandas are just the cutest.
ReplyDeleteMe too Birgit, but he does need a pole. Aren't they just.
DeleteWhere have you been?
I have been away for a week on the Richelieu river. My hubby and I drove up last Tuesday to stay with his Aunt and Uncle. They have wi-fi but I only spend a little bit of time on this and so my visiting has been sporadic. We leave today for our 9 hour journey back
DeleteSounds good, pretty place to visit. You don't want to spend vacation on line anyway Birgit. Drive safely.
DeleteDefinitely agree the tightrope walker is persistent. He might just make it to the end one day.
ReplyDeleteBetty
Not without a pole Betty. At least, I will be surprised if he does.
DeleteI just adore baby pandas!!! Well all pandas but esp. when they are so little and roly poly!!!! That tightrope guy is pretty brave. He could get seriously hurt if he falls from that height. Have you ever thought about going to talk to him?
ReplyDeleteMe too JoJo. They do looks so cuddly don't they. I don't think it's that high. I have thought about it, but I don't walk well and the doors on that side are kind of blocked by all our construction.
DeleteNeat that he got further along. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI cannot eat those biscuits but I did manage to make my own dairy-free take on it and Tim loved them. I wanted to make them the other day, but my formulas are all in a box, waiting for me to open them, once the house/garden is done.
I think he is a bit ambitious though Ivy.
DeleteGlad you can simulate them, they are delicious.
